I think it might be a virus,I have the same problem with my laptop,do a virus cheak.

 

[sHm0zY]

i dotn ahve any virus check programs

It sounds like a hardware problem. Maybe there's something wrong with your system memory.

 

[sHm0zY]

yeah i jsut fired it up and said there is some system memory or soem crap wrong with it what do i do

If your RAM is broken the only thing you can do is buy new RAM.

What exactly does it say when you boot up? Exactly?

It does sound like a RAM error, i have had the exact same thing.

 

[sHm0zY]

It takes forever to boot up when i start it it starts going and then somethign beeps in my computer and then it restarts and it did that liek 7 times before it got windows runnngin

Sometimes a blue screen poips up and says bal bla i duno ill read it the next time it comes up it says somethign about windows being gay or some errors on it

i have 768 ram is only one chip broken or all of them

Try taking them out and trying diffrent combinations to see if one of the sticks has crapped out.

1) check everything is plugged in fully and secure

2) make sure your PSU is powerful enough for the hardware in it if its not it can also give memory errors

3) check the bios settings for the memory and make sure their set correctly otherwise again you'll get memory errors

download one of those small apps from google search for memory checking, it'll tell you then if its the memory (after doing the above steps) if your memory is fried, remove each one at a time and rerun the scan until you know which is the damaged stick and replace it, and then check immediately with another scan to make sure the new one is fine.

Format and clean install.

Update windows/drivers (motherboard, gfx, sound etc)

Run memtest for a few hours to rule out memory problems (http://hcidesign.com/memtest/download.html.)

Run prime 95 toture test (http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm) and super-pi (http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=36) to make sure your cpu is ok (keep an eye on your temps tho)

What are your specs?

 

[firemachine69]

To me it sounds like a rant, cause an illeterate post like that sure ain't getting my help!

 

[mortiz]

doh, I thought this thread was about the worlds first really gay computer

 

[The Hulk]

Could also be your CPU heatsink fan not working. Same thing happened to my wife's pc - kept rebooting with errors, sometimes the blue screen (Win 2000). I opened it up and it was the fan (it ceases to function).

Also get a dictionary, or a keyboard with bigger buttons, because I learn to cope with typos on MSN, but this is just a bit dumb. Sounds like you're trying to write a reply in under 10 seconds.

 

[Slay0r]

Call the support

Well duh, his computer is restarting every 3 minutes.

 

[sHm0zY]

I fixed it
-Put a new motherboard in it

 

[Pressure]

I'm sure the old mother board was having issues because it just divorced the father board. You know what they say though, out with the old in with the new.

I think it is more of a memory fault/motherboard DIMM slot may have blown. earlier in the month i had a similar problem where my cop would reboot or just freeze and give bluescreen warnings..etc. So i found out that some dust had gotten into one of my DIMMS on my motherboard and fried it. So i just changed the ram from slots 1&2 to 1&3 and i have had no probs.

I don't think dust can fry it, it had to have been something that conducts electricity. I wonder if human hair conducts electricity, I guess so becuase when you get static you hair can stand up.

one time, i was fixing an old VCR, had the cover off, got it working, and was playing a tape, then suddenly It totally died.

Well I was working on it on my carpet, and a little piece of cliping of a frayed speaker type wire got inside the case, layed across the circuit board and the VCR never worked again. Completely lifeless.

Thats why I don't recomend leaving your cover off, and being extra carefull not to let anything fall inside your case.

You can also vaccum your electronics, just be sure that they are unplugged and you don't suck any thing important up. lol

 

[firemachine69]

DON'T vaccuum the inside. Less you'd like a worthless bunch of electronics components (aka "dead")
